Here are some of my favorite shots from the Random Farms Kids Theater’s production of “Oliver!” These kids are so stinkin’ talented, I can’t even tell you. Snow White opens next week!

On Saturday, I got to shoot Shane on his first birthday! This was a treat for me, because I not only shot his newborn portraits last Spring, but I also shot his parents’ wedding and their maternity portraits, so I was really honored to be there when his aunties and grandmas and parents gathered to sing “Happy Birthday.” Shane is just gorgeous. I can’t believe how much he’s grown since we got him to fall asleep in a basket in his Knicks onesie. Now he’s like, THROWING balls and trying to run outside the apartment into the hallway (not on my watch, little man) and cutting multiple TEETH, Good Lord, child, SLOW DOWN.                           Happy birthday, buddy. Keep growing big and strong and healthy, and I hope to see you soon. by admin no comments                     by admin no comments Wayne and Francine’s wedding was just lovely. They got married on Saturday in the back room of an organic Italian restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Francine told Wayne, “I never, ever thought I would find this much love” during the ceremony. He replied, “You are the light in the darkness.” (I think. The guitar player was still playing at this point. She was very talented; it just made it ever so slightly hard to hear.) There was delicious food, an adorable flower girl who was really into her role, a traditional Caribbean fruit cake, and a 90s dance mix featuring the stylings of Bell Biv Devoe. I am so honored to have documented this for you both! Have fun in Puerto Rico!                                       by admin no comments On Sunday, Joel and I shot Julianne and Chris’ wedding. You may remember them from their engagement session shot at the beach over the summer. This wedding was great. I had a chance to get to know the bride’s two maids of honor in this past year, so Joel and I felt very much at home and welcome with their friends and family. I have to say, I kind of love this couple’s friends. Julie and Chris met at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and most of the wedding party members were not only alumni but they also all sang together in an a cappella group in college. They surprised the groom and his mom by singing “In My Life” by the Beatles for their mother/son dance, which was nice. Also? Not for nothing, but the food was AMAZING at this wedding. Julianne dabbles in semi-professional cake-baking, so I’ve included a couple of details of the cake, including their awesome wire sculpture cake topper. Also, two of my favorite shots here include the wedding party with their mustache tattoos, as well as the picture of the bride, groom, best man’s reaction after the maid of honor fired a confetti gun at the end of her toast. Let’s all wish Julie and Chris a very happy honeymoon, and be jealous of them in Hawaii.                                       by admin no comments |

I do love that I got to catch his first taste of cake and do the full tricked-out boy session. Many thanks to my baby-wrangler (Jasra), smile-inspirer (Althea and grandmas) and flag banner holders and auntie-extraordinaires. I actually love the shots with the props, and I hope you all do, too. 
Have a wonderful time, guys!
